curriculum: at Tufts, students take the course(ES 4) in the fall semester of sophomore year and it forms part of their core conception of whatelectrical and computer engineering is. In general, their courses up to this point have been genericacross engineering, and many students see the course as a way to confirm whether an electrical orcomputer engineering major is right for them. As a result, we have both an opportunity and anobligation to inspire and motivate students in addition to helping them develop prerequisite skillsfor other courses.Digital logic labsAs at most universities, our offering of the course has a substantial laboratory component, wherestudents put in the hard (and rewarding) work of translating pencil-and-paper logic designs

MentorProgram [20, 23].IRAP/ELCIR includes course credit. Each participant must register for a research elective whichis conducted as an independent study course [14, 15, 20]. The elective can be taken for up to fourhours of credit [20, 24], although one hour is the typical load for an IRAP participant [14, 15].The course curriculum is adapted specifically to the IRAP process and spans three semesters,spring, summer and fall.IRAP/ELCIR’s spring activities are an “orientation and training workshop” [20]. These arefollowed in the summer by a “two-week trip to Yucatan in Mexico, where students take a classon introduction to research, visit research sites and tour cultural areas of Yucatan, includingUxmal, Chichen Itza, the cenotes and the Mundo Maya

collection, analysis, and drafting of this document, is pursuing a doctoral degree in Engineering Education. The author also shares many of the same or similar disabilities with those who were interviewed. Although this alignment was unintentional, it ended up being an integral aspect of the interview process that allowed for greater comfortability and vulnerability in interviews. We believe that this aspect of shared identity amongst the researcher and students helped foster richness in the data and a deepened understanding of student experiences during analysis. The second author holds identities as a disabled white cisgender woman, tenure-track engineering professor, and engineering education researcher

learning (PjBL) is an excellent framework for undergraduate engineeringeducation, as it provides benefits to learners from different learning styles while buildingcommunication and critical thinking skills [1]. A recent study with high school students foundthat PjBL was especially beneficial to the lowest-performing students, enabling them to improvetheir mathematics test scores more than middle- and high-achieving students [2]. At the sametime, PjBL places additional burdens on instructors, lab spaces, and departmental budgets,particularly when a hardware component is involved. To aid in the deployment of PjBL at ouruniversity and others with similar interests, we are developing a series of optical tools andlaboratories that can be easily

interests. Learningobjectives likely focus the course and allow effective assessment of whether the students arelearning the material. The instructor specifically teaches the big ideas, not just the details, andshows the students the structure of the content they ae learning. Often there’s an effort to showthe students where they can apply this material beyond the course. The instructor focuses onexplaining, not just covering the material and actively engages the students with thinking aboutthe content. This is apparent in the assignments as well as the lectures.Inspired teaching – This level describes courses students look forward to. The classes areinteresting, students are engaged, content feels relevant and fits the curriculum well

In addition, they have proven to be successful pedagogies within STEMeducation, in particular with regards to achievement, persistence, and attitudes [5].In May 2009, Lawrence Technological University (LTU) embarked on an eight-year facultydevelopment initiative that would modify 75% of the courses in the engineering curriculum toinclude active collaborative learning (ACL) and problem-based learning (PBL). Besidestraditional engineering courses, such as statics and design, the modified courses include those inthe general education core curriculum, such as calculus, history, literature
